NEW DELHI: As Australia amassed 469 in the first innings against India in the ongoing World Test Championship final, legendary Ricky Ponting on Thursday said that the bowlers let the team down bowling too short on the opening day at the Oval.
In a surprise move, India opted to bowl in the Final but then could not utilize the conditions as Travis Head (163) and Steve Smith (121) tons took Australia to a formidable first innings score.
